Reply To: Chillul Hashem on the school bus

apushatayid -“What percentage of yeshiva boys who ride the bus daily in the tri state area engage in such behavior?”

What percentage of Goyishe boys who ride the bus daily in the tri state area engage in such behavior?

“Do you believe the bus drivers are paid off to keep these incidents quiet?”

No, I don’t believe this. Why would you think that I’d hold this?

“You think there is an epidemic of “goyish behavior” on school busses everywhere that “we” in general and I in particular am in denial about? If this is such an epidemic, where were you decrying this outrageous behavior, prior to this news item? Was it kept under wraps until now, and this story just blew the lid off a major hush campaign?”

Let me explain my OP. Maybe you can’t understand my point. The boys on this bus were acting like Goyim. The “we” was represented by those boys. I thought this was obvious from my OP. The fact that this hardly has happenned till now and it’s not an epidemic doesn’t mean there is no problem with some kids and outrageous behavior. You seem to be blowing up this whole description of this incident to make it out like I don’t have a point. I have a point whether you agree with my wording or Not!

“Lastly, and this really should have been the very first question asked….when you wrote “This news you won’t find anywhere.” How is it that you are privy to this news which nobody else will find, anywhere? I suppose we should thank you for sharing it with us.”

Actually that line might not be accurate. I just figured that the Frum news media wouldn’t write about it and I was correct. I didn’t see anything about this in the Frum Lakewood media, let alone (Frum) elsewhere. I honestly don’t know if the APP (Asbury Park Press) wrote about it, but probably not because it’s something that probably didn’t peak their interest – if they even knew about it. And it’s not worth my time to check their paper just to see if that one line of mine is 100% correct.
